LYRICS:
Down foreign paths and uncharted shores
The beauty lies within these wars
Overcome the wilderness, with countless failures
For I'm not living just to exist
I'm on the verge of discovering this person I'm meant to be

Im on the verge of discovering
This person I'm meant to be
Im on the verge of discovering
My calling

Sometimes loosing yourself is the only way back home
Believe in me, its all you need
True happiness
Is the greatest discovery

Forget the ones who tell you how to feel 
It's crystal clear once you know it's real
Been here all along, right in front of you
Stood in resounding opacity 
It's the greatest discovery

[isabellaaustill]

this song makes me cry at the line " believe in me, its all you need, true happiness is the greatest discovery." this song is truly beautiful and amazing. thank you Oceans ate Alaska for being there when I needed someone.

I listened to this song while very peacefully going to grab a cold one and looking at the sunset, life cannot get better

[benjaminkingmedia]

The artwork shows the contrast between the brutal and calming vocals perfectly in my opinion.

[Dermerion]

"Sometimes, losing yourself is the only way back home". This song is just so beautiful and inspiring.

I've always loved OAA for their unorthodox and unique style of music. This album is no different definitely didn't disappoint. This song in particular, I love the jazzy feel that slowly escalates and this is probably my favorite song off this album.

[albdruck]

2:30 I love his vocals so much in this part

[dayton]

I think james on screams and this guy on cleans would be insane or combining the twos screaming would be gr8

[omarshabaneh]

I am actually liking this better than their old stuff. It seems to have a bit more variety on first impressions.

[Ikkyu_san]

I'm Japanese. I've listened Hikari in Kyoto for many times.
I wanna get Irezumi(tattoo) of this album jacket design since this album is definitely fantastic.

[simjo]

Can we talk about the outro for a second. Cause that slap play was really nice maybe nothing insanley technical but still it reminded me quite a bit of Animals as Leaders and that is always a plus.

[garrettgregory]

listened to this song sitting at my lake.brought me into one of the most euphoric energy ive ever felt, brought me back to a full blown acid trip...

[offiziellerkanalvondoggen-]

Easily the best song on the album. It's beautiful, emotional, different, and most of all: BASS

[oktoklone]

I discovered this song and band during a massive transition in my life, as I was gaining everything I thought was out of reach. I went from nothing, to somebody I feel worthy. I may not be happy every day, but looking back... I wouldn't rather be anywhere else. I love this song. it solidified my strengthening thought process in moments of weakness.

[therockstarbarber]

If band's went like this instead of pop I would be happy if they changed, how can you not like this?

[stevieweevie]

literally the most inspiring song I know rn

[coreymineralguy]

OAA and RoS albums on the same day. hell yeah

[davidll]

I wish this song can be played live :(

[evieamity]

Every time something important to me is on my mind and I hear this song, it's like I suddenly know the answer. It's about what makes me happy no matter what barriers make me feel it's not worth it. I feel something different every time I hear this song and it's always something beautiful.

[AFortnightAgo]

I miss James and loved Lost Isles, but this is still fuckin awesome

[jordanchance]

Blown away by the lyrics in this album.
